Default Color of Sam Feinstein's 427 Cobra pre-green

Artist looking for info regarding colors of Feinstein's 427 Comp car.
I found this website with a good side view


http://www.virhistory.com/vir/press/full03/full-75.JPG

a side view of 427 Cobra, no. 72 in the circular roundel but the picture is in black and white. So I'm guessing:.
-White side pipes
-black wheels
-Stickers are Champion spark plugs (red and white)
-STP oval (red and white)
-roll bar flat black

But don't know what color his car was. Guessing Guardsman blue.
And what color helmet did he wear in those days?

Some strange decal above the Roundel, kind of like a miniature stretched checkered flag.
As far as hood stripes, can't tell from this view, looks like two white ones about 4" wide, a couple of inches apart. Or maybe two narrow white stripes with a third color inbetween. Anybody got that good a memory? Thanks for any tips. I talked to Finestein sometime in the last couple years but of course lost his number. He is helping promote a replica 427 Cobra.

Glad I found this view, the green and white livery he raced later was a horrible
jumble of scallops worthy of Ed "big daddy" roth....
